517. Battle of Geonosis
Mabel Garson stared at the screen blankly. He had no strength at all. During the communication, the battleships Fang, Borg and Valiant kept sending distress signals. Now the only three remaining ships in space cheered. The Zhejiang-class assault landing ship was surrounded by heavy siege.
Moreover, after witnessing the horrific scene of friendly warships being destroyed, the morale of these officers and soldiers completely collapsed, and they completely lost their will to fight.
At the same time, Nim, the leader of the pirate group Locke's Avengers who had participated in the war, turned around and fled in a hurry with his six Mel-class cruisers. Severance Tann didn't bother to pay attention to these little shrimps, and sent a few Vulture robot fighters to chase them.
Mabel Garson was completely in a desperate situation. Now he had seen the powerful firepower of the Cole-class battlecruiser, and also understood what Severance Tann meant just now. She wanted to use her fleet to rush out of Gio. Launch a fatal attack on Nosis planet when they enter the atmosphere!
According to his original plan, he hoped that the seven Cheer-class ships in space could hold back the separatist fleet for an hour, allowing him to unload all the ground troops before leading the planet. All 13 Cheer-class ships on board returned to outer space and gathered all the warships for a decisive battle with the Separatist fleet.
But he never thought that Severance Tann's target was never the 7 battleships, but the 13 battleships in the atmosphere! If he had just rushed out of the atmosphere regardless of dismounting his troops, he would undoubtedly have been hit head-on by Tann! Under the power of the main gun salvo just now, at most half of his 13 warships could rush out.
Because when a battleship breaks out of the atmosphere, all shield power must be concentrated on the thermal shield, especially a battleship as large as the Cheer class. In this case, it is attacked by an unknown super powerful kinetic energy weapon. It’s a sure kill!
However, even so, half of the battleships he rushed out, combined with the battleships in space, there are still 14 battleships. It is not said that they can win, but at least they are still capable of fighting.
However, because of his greed, he lost the final chance for a decisive battle. Severance Tann used the salvo prepared for him to directly destroy four Cheer-class ships, completely defeating the Republic's power in space. In other words, Tann was prepared from the beginning, so she openly accused him of being a fool through the public channel and openly stated her plan.
Yes, Mabel Garson is too greedy! He not only wanted to have a decisive battle with the separatist fleet, but also wanted to preserve the ground troops. He unloaded all the troops before going to fight in space. Such a result, just like Severance Tann's evaluation, was constantly confused by it. .
Now that the Republic has only three warships left in space, and the morale of its officers and soldiers has collapsed and they no longer have the will to fight, the Separatist fleet can easily adjust its direction again, direct all its firepower at the planet Geonosis, and wait for it to break out of the atmosphere. of this moment.
Indeed, Mabel Garson has lost the last opportunity for a fleet battle because of her own hesitation!
This is a dead end!
Severance Tann really hated iron at that time. She finally got a chance for a fleet battle, but it turned into a one-sided massacre, without any sense of achievement. Although she was convinced that even if the two sides set up a battle in an upright manner, the other side would not have the slightest chance of winning under her command, but at least there was such a process, right?
Mabel Garson only remembered the Jedi at this time, but Master Yoda had just led his army to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. He also had another mission, which was to rescue Wen. Master Du's group of Jedi warriors have no time to care about them now.
In despair, Mabel Garson still connected to Master Yoda's communication, told the other party about her desperate situation, and asked for Master Yoda's guidance.
Master Yoda sighed, but his eyes remained extremely determined. He said slowly: "Retreat immediately and let the remaining battleships stand still and wait for reinforcements. Our entire army."
This is also the last resort. This battle of the Galactic Republic is destined to be a failure. All that can be done now is to make this fiasco look less miserable.
Mabel Garson had to inform the three battleships Borg, Fang and Valiant, "The situation is urgent now. The Separatist fleet has already aimed in the direction of the atmosphere. I cannot risk a concentrated attack and rush out of the atmosphere to rescue." Arrive, please disperse and evacuate and leave here."
The captains of the three battleships were yelling angrily from the communication. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that surrounded by 10 Generosity-class frigates and 15 Cole-class battlecruisers, the only way to escape was to escape.
Mabel Garson's face turned dark. He listened to the yelling in the communication and finally couldn't bear it and closed the communication.
A moment later, three Cheer-class assault landing ships successively sent communications to Coruscant, saying, "Strong enemies are waiting for us. Foreign aid is cut off. Our ships will fight to the last man. Long live the Galactic Republic." '
After all, they maintained their last dignity as soldiers of the Republic, neither surrendering to the separatists who split the country, nor running away like cowards.
In fact, in their view, those separatists are just companies and businessmen. How can there be any reason for the state machinery to surrender to the armed forces of a company?
At this moment, Tang Xiao and Count Dooku were sitting in the stands of the Coliseum, admiring the execution of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.
Just like in the plot, Count Dooku turned this execution into a grand event. They locked two Jedi knights to a pillar in the center of the arena, and then released beasts to kill them in public.
As a result, Anakin and Obi-Wan were so clever that they actually used the terrain to kill those beasts!
Tang Xiao just watched quietly. Although what happened on the planet Geonosis was completely different from the plot of the movie, many things that were supposed to happen would still happen. For example, he is now looking at the Colosseum, which is exactly the same as the plot, except that Padmé is not here, and Rock Johnson did not know where he went during the previous battle, and he is very interested in seeing it. , will the next development be the same as the plot?
At this time, Count Dooku turned around and smiled at Tang Xiao and said: "The Governor had the foresight to arrange the fleet in advance. And it seems that the Chiss commander is indeed very powerful. Congratulations. "
"No, only when each of us becomes stronger can we jointly establish this new order." Tang Xiao said politely.
